An inclusion compound is formed by KX2-361 or the medicinal salt thereof and hydroxylpropoxyl-β-cyclodextrin, and the solubility of the poorly-soluble drug KX2-361 is improved. The pharmaceutical composition can be prepared into an intravenous preparation and an oral preparation.

FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the pharmaceutical field, and specifically relates to a pharmaceutical composition and use thereof, a drug inclusion complex, an intravenous preparation and a preparation method thereof.

BACKGROUND

KX2-361 is a small molecule compound developed by Kinex Pharmaceuticals LLC (USA), capable of treating cell proliferative diseases (especially cancer). The compound may treat cell proliferative diseases by tyrosine kinase inhibition (see Patent Document WO2006/071960) KX2-361 has Chinese chemical name of N-(3

)-2-(5-(4-

)

-2-

)

, an English chemical name of N-(3-Fluorobenzyl)-2-(5-(4-Morpholnophenyl)pyridin-2-yl)-acetamide), a molecular formula of C₂₄H₂₄FN₃O₂, a molecular weight of 405.46 g/mol, and a structural formula as shown by Formula 1:

KX2-361 is in the form of free base and its medicinal salts may be benzene sulfonate, hydrochloride, phosphate and the like. KX2-361 is poorly soluble in water, while its medicinal salts also do not have ideal water solubility and are hardly soluble in water. When a pharmacologically active molecule is poorly soluble in water, oral administration may cause problems such as low bioavailability and poor absorbability of drug. When it is to be prepared into a suitable injection preparation, its solubility needs to be increased to meet the requirements of intravenous administration. Therefore, for the purpose of effectively administering KX2-361 or its medicinal salts to patients, there is an urgent need to find ways to solubilize the same.

For poorly soluble drugs, solubilization methods commonly used in the art include: adding surfactant solubilizers, adding cosolvents, using mixed solvents, preparing into soluble salts, introducing hydrophilic groups on the molecular structure of main drug, preparing into solid dispersions, preparing into cyclodextrin inclusion complexes, adding block copolymer solubilizers, preparing into liposomes, preparing into microemulsions, preparing into microspheres and milli microcapsules, adding dendritic macromolecular solubilizers and the like (see Wu Peiying, et al., “Progress in solubilization of insoluble drugs”, Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine, September 2005, Vol. 27, No. 9, p 1126-1129).

It is well known that a variety of cyclodextrins and derivatives thereof can be selected for preparing a drug into a cyclodextrin inclusion complex. Known cyclodextrins include three types, i.e., α, β and γ, each consisting of 6, 7 and 8 glucose. It is demonstrated by X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance researches that cyclodextrin has a three-dimensional structure of circular hollow barrel shape with wide top, narrow bottom and opening at both ends, wherein substance molecules to be encapsulated enter the barrel to form a inclusion complex. Typically, in an inclusion complex formed by cyclodextrin and drug, the drug and cyclodextrin are usually combined with a molar ratio of 1:1, but other ratios are also common. Currently, a series of derivatives have been formed on the basis of the above cyclodextrins, and pharmaceutically suitable ones include, for example, methylated-β-cyclodextrin (RM-β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD), maltose-β-cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD)) and the like. In a Sci-Tech document “Loftsson T, Brewster M E. Pharmaceutical applications of cyclodextrins: basic science and product development. J Pharm Pharmacol. 2010 November; 62(11):1607-21.”, some worldwide marketed preparations containing cyclodextrins are listed, for example, alprostadil injection and cefotiam hydrochloride tablets each containing α-cyclodextrin; cephalosporin tablets and benexate hydrochloride capsules each containing β-cyclodextrin; Tc-99m injection containing γ-cyclodextrin; voriconazole injection and ziprasidone mesylate injection each containing SBE-β-CD; and, itraconazole oral solution and injection, and mitomycin injection each containing HP-β-CD. However, different cyclodextrins and their derivatives are suitable for different drugs, and at present, based on the specific structure of a given compound, it is difficult to speculate which cyclodextrin or its derivative is suitable in solubilizing ability.

The aforementioned patent document WO2006/071960 discloses a compound with a general formula including a series of specific compounds such as KX2-361, which can be administered in various ways such as oral administration, injection administration, rectal administration, pulmonary administration, intranasal administration, transient administration, fluctuating release administration, and the like. The patent document further discloses that different forms of solid dosage forms, liquid dosage forms and the like can be used for different administration methods. The patent document also discloses that injectable solutions can be prepared using solvents which include, for example, sesame or peanut oil, and aqueous propylene glycol; or, injectable solutions can be prepared using aqueous solutions of water soluble medicinal salts of KX2-361, in specific examples, the dispersible phases may be glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof in oil. The patent document also discloses dosage forms (such as liquid dosage forms) comprising cyclic or aliphatic encapsulants or dissolvents, and the cyclic or aliphatic encapsulants or dissolvents are, for example, cyclodextrin, polyether and polysaccharide; specifically preferred examples include methyl cellulose or CAPTISOL® (i.e., sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin). That is, this patent document discloses some solubilization methods and solubilizing reagents that are generally used in the art for poorly soluble drugs.

However, the inventors of the present disclosure have found that the specific solubilization methods and solubilizing reagents disclosed in document WO 2006/071960 are not desirable in the development of KX2-361 drugs and are not suitable for further development of KX2-361 as a cost effective drug preparation that can be effectively administered to patients. Therefore, there is still an urgent need to find more pharmaceutically suitable solubilization methods and solubilizing reagents for KX2-361 or medicinal salts thereof.

I. Pharmaceutical Composition

Since KX2-361 and its medicinal salts have properties of poor water-solubility, the inventors of the present disclosure hope to find a method for effectively solubilizing the same so as to formulate them into clinically applicable drug preparations. As described above, various methods for solubilizing a drug are known, and various solubilization methods are listed in patent document WO2006/071960 specifically for KX2-361 or medicinal salt thereof. However, the inventors of the present disclosure found that these solubilization methods for KX2-361 or medicinal salt thereof are undesirable. At present, it is difficult to speculate which solubilization method or solubilizing reagent has suitable ability for solubilizing a given compound according to the specific structure of the compound. Therefore, for the KX2-361 and its medicinal salts, the inventors of the present disclosure conducted a large number of researching and screening work on different solubilization methods and different solubilizing reagents, they finally found that KX2-361 or a medicinal salt thereof can be effectively solubilized by using inclusion technology, and surprisingly found that the most suitable inclusion agent is hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin.

III. Intravenous Preparation

In another aspect, the present disclosure also provides an intravenous preparation for treating cell proliferative diseases, wherein the preparation includes the pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure.

Preferably, in the intravenous preparation, the molar ratio of the active ingredient to hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is 1:(1-250), more preferably 1:(9-59), for example, 1:(9-15), 1:(12-59), 1:(16-53), 1:(31-56), etc.

The intravenous preparation of the present disclosure may comprise an excipient which is preferably one or more selected from the group consisting of mannitol, lactose, dextran, xylitol, sorbitol, glucose and sodium chloride.

The intravenous preparation may be in the form of lyophilized powder or it also may be in the form of a liquid preparation. When the intravenous preparation is a liquid preparation, the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in the liquid preparation may be 100 mg/ml to 500 mg/ml, preferably 200 mg/ml to 400 mg/ml; the concentration of the KX2-361 or the medicinal salt thereof measured by KX2-361 may be 0.5 mg/ml to 5 mg/ml, preferably 1.4 mg/m to 4.3 mg/ml.

The lyophilized powder may be redissolved with a solution for injection to prepare a liquid preparation. Any solution for injection known in the art may be used as the solution for injection, for example, the solution for injection may be buffered saline solution, glucose aqueous solution, sodium chloride aqueous solution or lactated Ringer's solution. The buffered saline solution, for example, may be citrate buffer solution, acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution, phosphate buffer solution and the like; the glucose aqueous solution, for example, may be 5% (w/v) glucose aqueous solution; and the sodium chloride aqueous solution, for example, may be 0.9% (w/v) sodium chloride aqueous solution. Preferably, the buffered saline solution is a buffered saline solution with pH 4.0, such as a citrate buffer solution with pH 4.0.

In another aspect, the present disclosure also provides a method for preparing the intravenous preparation of the present disclosure, including the following steps:

1) Providing a first solution in which hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is dissolved, the first solution being a aqueous solution with pH=1-2;

2) Mixing KX2-361 or a medicinal salt thereof with the first solution to prepare a second solution in which KX2-361 or medicinal salt thereof is dissolved.

Preferably, the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in the first solution is 10% (w/v) to 50% (w/v), more preferably 20% (w/v) to 40% (w/v), further preferably 30% (w/v) to 40% (w/v). If the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is less than 10% (w/v), the amount of inclusion drug is too low; if the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is more than 50% (w/v), then the formulated solution will have a viscosity that is too high to be freeze-dried. The first solution may contain a pH adjuster which may be a strong acidic solution such as hydrochloric acid.

Preferably, the concentration of KX2-361 or the medicinal salt thereof in the second solution measured by KX2-361 is 0.5 mg/ml to 5 mg/ml, preferably 1.4 mg/ml to 4.3 mg/ml. If the concentration of KX2-361 is less than 0.5 mg/ml, the amount of inclusion drug is too low; if the concentration of KX2-361 is more than 5 mg/ml, then after redissolving the formulated lyophilized powder, the obtained redissolved solution and the solution formed with other dilution media will have poor stability, and the drug is easy to precipitate. The medicinal salt of the KX2-361 may be KX2-361.monophenyl sulfonate, KX2-361.dihydrochloride, KX2-361.monophosphate and/or KX2-361.diphosphonate, wherein preferably KX2-361.monophenyl sulfonate.

Preferably, the molar ratio of KX2-361 or the medicinal salt thereof to hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in the second solution is 1:(1-250), more preferably 1:(9-59).

Regarding the pH value of the first solution, since KX2-361 or the medicinal salt thereof is not stable to acid, if the pH of the first solution is lower than 1, it will cause a significant increase in acid degradation impurities; if the pH of the first solution is higher than 2, the drug will have a slow dissolution rate and a significantly increased dissolution time, on the one hand, leading to great inconvenience for production, and on the other hand, increasing the amount of acid degradation impurities. More preferably, pH of the first solution is 1.2-2.0.

In the step 2) of the method of the present disclosure, the drug inclusion complex of the present disclosure is obtained.

In the step 2) of the method of the present disclosure, the mixing includes mixing by stirring or by ultrasound.

Still preferably, the method of the present disclosure further includes step 3): freeze-drying the second solution to prepare a lyophilized powder. The freeze-drying can be performed using conventional methods in the art.

Still preferably, before step 3) and after step 2), the method further includes a step i): adjusting the pH of the second solution to 3-7, more preferably to 4-6. This step of adjusting pH is beneficial to prevent drug from degradation due to the long time of follow-up freeze-drying process and acid residues in the lyophilized sample. Optional pH adjusters include alkaline solutions such as NaOH aqueous solution. In this step of adjusting the pH, if the pH is adjusted to more than 7, the hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin will have poor encapsulating effect on KX2-361 or a medicinal salt thereof, thereby, KX2-361 or a medicinal salt thereof is easy to precipitate. In this step of adjusting the pH, if the pH is adjusted to less than 3, since the KX2-361 structure is easy to degrade in acid due to ring opening, and degradation impurities will be increased significantly and the resulting preparation will be unstable.

Still preferably, before step 3) and after step 2), the method further includes a step ii): sterile filtering (the second solution). Processes of sterile filtering are well known in the art, for example, a filter membrane may be used for filtering, for example, a 0.22 μm filter membrane is used to physically trap live microorganisms.

The solution obtained after sterile filtering may be directly filled into a small-volume injection, or may be freeze-dried to obtain a lyophilized powder. The lyophilized powder may be redissolved to obtain an injection for injection administration, or the lyophilized powder may be diluted with a large-volume diluent to obtain a drip solution for drip administration.

Still preferably, before step ii) and after step i), the method further includes a step of removing pyrogen. Processes for removing pyrogen are well known in the art, for example, adding activated carbon to remove pyrogen and then filtering off the activated carbon.

In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for preparing the intravenous preparation of the present disclosure includes the following sequential steps:

a) Preparing a hydrochloric acid solution with a pH of 1.2-2.0 using an appropriate amount of concentrated hydrochloric acid and water for injection;

b) Adding a prescribed amount of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin to the hydrochloric acid solution obtained in step a) and stirring to dissolve; then adding a prescribed amount of KX2-361 or a medicinal salt thereof, and stirring or using ultrasound to dissolve;

c) Adjusting the pH of the solution obtained in step b) to 4.0-6.0 with sodium hydroxide aqueous solution;

d) Removing pyrogen by adding activated carbon for absorption and filtering off the activated carbon;

e) Sterile filtering;

f) Freeze-drying.

As a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, freeze-drying process in the above step f) is carried out under conditions that vacuum degree and temperature are controlled, and the temperature control process may be, for example, thermal insulating for 2-5 hours at −40° C. to −50° C.; warming up to −20° C. over 5-7 hours, and thermal insulating for 5-7 hours; warming up to 0° C. over 5-7 hours, and thermal insulating for 5-7 hours; warming up to 10° C. over 5-7 hours, and thermal insulating for 5-8 hours until the sample is dry.

In another preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, when the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is 10% (w/v), the molar ratio of KX2-361 or its medicinal salt to hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is 1:(31-56); when the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is 20% (w/v), the molar ratio of KX2-361 or its medicinal salt to hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is 1:(16-53); when the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is 30% (w/v), the molar ratio of KX2-361 or its medicinal salt to hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is 1:(12-59); when the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is 40% (w/v), the molar ratio of KX2-361 or its medicinal salt to hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is 1:(9-15).

In the preparation of a liquid preparation of the intravenous preparation, the method further comprises the step of redissolving the lyophilized powder with an solution for injection. Any solution for injection known in the art may be used, for example, buffered saline solution, glucose aqueous solution, sodium chloride aqueous solution or lactated Ringer's solution. The buffered saline solution, for example, may be citrate buffer solution, acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution, phosphate buffer solution and the like; the glucose aqueous solution, for example, may be 5% (w/v) glucose aqueous solution; and the sodium chloride aqueous solution, for example, may be 0.9% (w/v) sodium chloride aqueous solution. Preferably, the buffered saline solution is a buffered saline solution with pH 4.0, such as a citrate buffer solution with pH 4.0.

In the present disclosure, in the study of intravenous preparation, the inclusion process is optimized so as to optimize the drug-loading formulation, finally, to obtain the formulations that can be directly administered intravenously and intravenous drip formulations that can be diluted within 10 times, and all indicators of the above formulations are qualified.

Preferably, the molar ratio of the active ingredient to hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in the oral preparation is 1:(1-250), more preferably 1:(4-59), further preferably 1:(4-17).

Still preferably, in the oral preparation, the mass ratio of KX2-361 contained in the active ingredient to hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin measured by KX2-361 is (0.1-29):100, more preferably (0.5-5):100, further preferably (1.7-5):100.

Preferably, the active ingredient is KX2-361, KX2-361.monophenyl sulfonate, KX2-361.dihydrochloride, KX2-361.monophosphate and/or KX2-361.diphosphonate, wherein preferably KX2-361.monophenyl sulfonate. As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the “KX2-361.benzene sulfonate” refers to KX2-361.monophenyl sulfonate, which has a molecular weight of 563.64.

In the oral preparation of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the active ingredient can be encapsulated by at least a portion of the hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin to form drug inclusion complex. In the drug inclusion complex, the hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin can form a hollow barrel structure with opening at both ends, and the KX2-361 or the medicinal salt thereof can be completely or partially encapsulated in the barrel structure.

Preferably, the oral preparation of the present disclosure further includes a medicinal excipient. The medicinal excipient may be one or more selected from the group consisting of filler, disintegrant and lubricant.

The filler may be one or more selected from the group consisting of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), lactose, starch, mannitol and the like, wherein lactose is preferred; the content of the filler based on the total weight of the oral preparation is preferably 0%-69% (w/w). The disintegrant may be one or more selected from the group consisting of croscarmellose sodium (CC—Na), cross-linked povidone (PVPP), sodium carboxymethyl starch and the like, wherein croscarmellose sodium is preferred; the content of the disintegrant based on the total weight of the oral preparation is preferably 0%-5% (w/w). The lubricant may be one or more selected from the group consisting of magnesium stearate, micro powder silica gel, talcum powder and the like, wherein magnesium stearate is preferred; the content of the lubricant based on the total weight of the oral preparation is 0.5%-3% (w/w).

Preferably, the oral preparation is in the form of tablet, wherein the content of the active ingredient in a single tablet is 0.5%-6.5% (w/w).

In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the tablet of the present disclosure contains: about 1% (w/w) of KX2-361.monophenylsulfonate, more than 28.6% (w/w) and less than 29% (w/w) of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, about 64% (w/w) of lactose, about 5% (w/w) of croscarmellose sodium, about 1% (w/w) of magnesium stearate, and more than 0 and less than 0.4% (w/w) of NaCl.

In another aspect, the present disclosure also provides a method for preparing the oral preparation of the present disclosure, comprising the following steps:

A) Providing a first solution with pH of 1-2 in which solution hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is dissolved;

B) Mixing KX2-361 or its medicinal salt with the first solution to prepare a second solution in which KX2-361 or its medicinal salt is dissolved.

C) Drying the second solution to obtain a dried product.

Preferably, the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in the first solution is 10% (w/v) to 50% (w/v), more preferably 20% (w/v) to 40% (w/v), further preferably 30% (w/v) to 40% (w/v). If the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is less than 10% (w/v), the amount of inclusion drug is too low; if it is more than 50% (w/v), the formulated solution has a viscosity that is too high to be dried (for example, freeze-dried). The first solution may contain a pH adjuster which may be a strong acidic solution such as hydrochloric acid.

Preferably, in the second solution, the concentration of KX2-361 or a medicinal salt thereof measured by KX2-361 is 0.5 mg/ml to 15 mg/ml, preferably 3.6 mg/ml to 15 mg/kg, more preferably 5 mg/ml to 10 mg/ml. If the concentration of KX2-361 is lower than 0.5 mg/ml, the amount of the inclusion drug is too low; if it is more than 15 mg/ml, the stability of the inclusion system is poor and the drug is easy to precipitate. The medicinal salt of the KX2-361 may be KX2-361.monophenyl sulfonate, KX2-361.dihydrochloride, KX2-361.monophosphate and/or KX2-361.diphosphonate, wherein KX2-361.monophenyl sulfonate is preferred.

Preferably, in the second solution, the molar ratio of KX2-361 or a medicinal salt thereof to hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is 1:(1-250), more preferably 1:(4-59), further preferably 1:(4-17).

In regard to the pH of the first solution, since KX2-361 or medicinal salt thereof is not stable to acid, then if the pH of the first solution is lower than 1, it will cause a significant increase in acid degradation impurities; if the pH of the first solution is higher than 2, the drug will have a slow dissolution rate and a significantly increased dissolution time, on the one hand, this will lead to great inconvenience for production, and on the other hand, also increase the amount of acid degradation impurities. More preferably, pH of the first solution is 1.2-2.0.

In the step B) of the method of the present disclosure, the mixing includes mixing by stirring or by ultrasound.

In the step C) of the method of the present disclosure, examples of drying include freeze-drying, spray drying and the like. Freeze-drying and spray-drying can be performed using conventional methods in the art.

Still preferably, before step C) and after step B), the method further comprises a step I): adjusting the pH of the second solution to 3-7, more preferably to 4-6. This step of adjusting pH is beneficial to prevent drug from degradation due to the long time of follow-up freeze-drying process and acid residues in the lyophilized sample. Optional pH adjusters include alkaline solutions such as NaOH aqueous solution. In this step of adjusting the pH, if the pH is adjusted to more than 7, the hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin will have poor encapsulating effect on KX2-361 or a medicinal salt thereof, thereby, KX2-361 or a medicinal salt thereof is easy to precipitate. If the pH is adjusted to less than 3, since the KX2-361 structure is easy to degrade in acid due to ring opening, the degradation impurities will increase significantly and the resulting preparation will be unstable.

Still preferably, before step C) and after step B), the method further includes a step III): filtering. Processes of filtering are well known in the art, for example, filtering with a filter membrane such as a 0.8 μm filter membrane to obtain a clear solution.

Preferably, after step C), the method further includes a step D): tableting the dried product. Specifically, the step D) includes mixing the dried product with excipient which isone or more selected from the group consisting of filler, disintegrant and lubricant, and then performing the tableting.

The filler may be one or more selected from the group consisting of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), lactose, starch, mannitol and the like, wherein lactose is preferred; the content of the filler based on the total weight of the oral preparation is preferably 0%-69% (w/w). The disintegrant may be one or more selected from the group consisting of croscarmellose sodium (CC—Na), cross-linked povidone (PVPP), sodium carboxymethyl starch and the like, wherein croscarmellose sodium is preferred; the content of the disintegrant based on the total weight of the oral preparation is preferably 0%-5% (w/w). The lubricant may be one or more selected from the group consisting of magnesium stearate, micro powder silica gel, talcum powder and the like, wherein magnesium stearate is preferred; the content of the lubricant based on the total weight of the oral preparation is 0.5%-3% (w/w).

Example 1: Preparation and Evaluation of KX2-361.Benzene Sulfonate Lyophilized Agent and Redissolved Solution for Injection (the Concentration of HP-β-CD was 30%, Drug Loading was High)

Prescriptions with the following composition were prepared:

Molar ratio Mass ratio (HP-β-CD:API) (HP-β-CD: HP-β-CD API KX2-361•BSA KX2-361) Prescription 30% 5 mg/mL 19-24:1 100:1.20 A1 Prescription 30% 6 mg/mL 16-20:1 100:1.44 A2 Prescription 30% 7 mg/mL 13-17:1 100:1.68 A3

Note: The molecular weight of HP-β-CD is 1431-1806. Therefore, the upper and lower limits of the molecular weight were respectively taken to calculate the molar ratio.

The above-mentioned prescriptions were prepared according to the following steps successively:

1) 1.8 mL concentrated hydrochloric acid was placed in a 200 mL volumetric flask and diluted to 200 mL with distilled water to obtain a hydrochloric acid solution with a pH of about 1.2 (the concentration is 0.1 mol/L, the same below).

2) HP-β-CD was weighed according to the above prescription amounts and added to three 50 mL volumetric flasks respectively. The solution obtained in 1) was added, dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasound frequency is 59 kHz) and diluted to about 46 mL with the above-mentioned hydrochloric acid solution.

3) API (KX2-361 benzene sulfonate) was weighed according to the above prescription amounts and added to the above-mentioned HP-β-CD solutions respectively, and dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasonic frequency is 59 kHz).

4) The pH of the solution obtained in 3) was adjusted to about 6.0 (+0.05) with 5N NaOH aqueous solution and 0.1N NaOH aqueous solution respectively. The solution was diluted to 50 mL with distilled water.

5) The three prescription solutions each was filtered with a 0.45 μm polyether sulfone filter membrane and dispensed into 10 mL penicillin bottles (dispensed by 2 mL volume per bottle), then freeze-dried.

The freeze-drying curve was as follows:

Vacuum Condenser Temperature Vacuum Time pump pre-freezing Stage (° C.) control (Pa) (minute) state (° C.) 1 −40 OFF 5 OFF −40 2 −40 OFF 120 OFF 3 −40 20 ± 2 360 ON 4 −20 20 ± 2 360 ON 5 −20 10 ± 2 360 ON 6 0 10 ± 2 360 ON 7 0 10 ± 2 360 ON 8 10 No control 360 ON 9 10 No control 120 ON

Sample State after Freeze-Drying:

The sample had good formability. Lyophilized samples were all pale yellow loose solids.

The lyophilized samples of the above three prescriptions (prescription A1, A2, A3) were redissolved and their redissolution conditions, insoluble particles and dilution stability were evaluated.

1. Redissolving with Water and Buffered Saline Solution.

Redissolving method: 2 mL of the following redissolving medium was added to each penicillin bottle of each lyophilized sample, and then turned upside down 30 times, if not dissolved, shaken until dissolved. Timing starts after adding the buffered saline solution, with two repetitions performed simultaneously.

The compositions of the buffer salts were as follows:

pH (Theoretical Theoretical value/Actual weighing/Actual value) Composition weighing Concentration 4.0/4.00 Citric acid 210.14 mg/210.5 mg c = 0.01 monohydrate mmol/L 5.0/5.00 Sodium acetate 136.08 mg/137.6 mg c = 0.01 trihydrate mmol/L 6.0/6.01 Sodium dihydrogen 156.06 mg/156.1 mg c = 0.01 phosphate dihydrate mmol/L

Note: c represents the molar concentration of the solute formulated into a buffer salt.

The redissolving time is shown as follows:

Redissolving medium with different pH Prescription A1 Prescription A2 Prescription A3 pH = 4.0 About 2 minutes About 2.5 minutes About 2.5 minutes pH = 5.0 About 2.5 minutes About 2.5 minutes About 2.5 minutes pH = 6.0 About 2.5 minutes About 2.5 minutes About 2.5 minutes Water About 4 minutes About 4 minutes About 4 minutes

Note: the redissolving time for each prescription is the average of two repetitions.

Insoluble particles (detection method refers to Light Blockage Method, First Method, Insoluble Particle Inspection Method, 0903, Chinese Pharmacopoeia Part IV, 2015 Edition, the same below) were as follows:

Insoluble particles (1 mL) 0 hour 4 hours ≥10 μm ≥25 μm ≥10 μm ≥25 μm Prescription A1 pH = 4.0 283 42 213 36 30% HP-β-CD + 5 pH = 5.0 362 63 285 53 mg/mL API pH = 6.0 597 103 365 28 Prescription A2 pH = 4.0 206 29 138 20 30% HP-β-CD + 6 pH = 5.0 334 30 172 16 mg/mL API pH = 6.0 427 32 354 19 Prescription A3 pH = 4.0 252 43 254 31 30% HP-β-CD + 7 pH = 5.0 557 160 251 19 mg/mL API pH = 6.0 739 54 1003 143

Note: For the insoluble particle, the result was the average of results obtained by detecting two samples, with measuring the insoluble particles after 0 hour and 4 hours respectively.

From the above results, it can be found that when the sample containing 30% HP-β-CD is redissolved with buffer salts of different pHs, the redissolving time was reduced to about 2.5 minutes from about 4 minutes when redissolved with pure water. When 30% HP-β-CD samples was redissolved with buffer salt of pH=4.0, the insoluble particles conditions were good, wherein the insoluble particles conditions were good when the prescription A2 was redissolved with the three buffer salts respectively.

In addition, according to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia Standard, the number of insoluble particles of ≥10 μm in any container of less than 100 mL shall not exceed 6000, and the number of insoluble particles of ≥25 μm shall not exceed 600. Since the test results of the insoluble particles shown in the above table were the detection values of 1 mL solution, the prescriptions A1-A3 are all suitable for further prepared into a pharmaceutical preparation product which is volume amplified (consider the specifications of the drug according to its effectiveness and safety) and can reach larger single dose and meets the Chinese Pharmacopoeia Standard.

2. Redissolving with 5% Glucose Aqueous Solution and 0.9% Sodium Chloride Aqueous Solution.

Redissolving method: 2 mL of the following redissolving media were added to each penicillin bottle of each lyophilized sample, and then turned upside down 30 times, and if not dissolved, shaken until dissolved. Started timing after the redissolving media were added, and performed two repetitions simultaneously.

The redissolving time is shown as follows:

Redissolving Prescription medium A1 Prescription A2 Prescription A3 5% glucose aqueous About 3 About 3 About 3 minutes solution minutes minutes 0.9% sodium About 3 About 3 About 3 minutes chloride aqueous minutes minutes solution

Note: the redissolving time for each prescription was the average of two repetitions.

Insoluble particles are shown as follows:

Insoluble particles (1 mL) 0 hour 4 hours Prescription Redissolving ≥10 ≥25 ≥10 ≥25 number medium μm μm μm μm Prescription A1 5% glucose 361 28 269 47 30% HP-β- aqueous solution CD + 5 mg/mL 0.9% sodium 277 56 236 32 API chloride aqueous solution Prescription A2 5% aqueous 407 113 322 30 30% HP-β- glucose solution CD + 6 mg/mL 0.9% aqueous 919 348 282 59 API sodium chloride solution Prescription A3 5% glucose 434 47 396 82 30% HP-β- aqueous solution CD + 7 mg/mL 0.9% sodium 456 76 386 55 API chloride aqueous solution

Note: For the insoluble particles, the result was the average of the results obtained by detecting two samples, with measuring the insoluble particles after 0 hour and 4 hours respectively.

The above results indicate that the effect of redissolving with buffered saline solution of pH 4.0 is better than the effects of redissolving with 5% glucose aqueous solution and redissolving with 0.9% sodium chloride aqueous solution.

Example 2: Preparation and Evaluation of KX2-361.Benzene Sulfonate Lyophilized Agent and Redissolving Solution for Injection (the Concentration of HP-β-CD was 30%, Drug Loading was Low)

Note: The molecular weight of HP-β-CD is 1431-1806. Therefore, the upper and lower limits of the molecular weight were respectively taken to calculate the molar ratio.

The above-mentioned prescriptions were prepared according to the following steps successively:

1) 1.8 mL concentrated hydrochloric acid was placed in a 200 mL volumetric flask and diluted to 200 mL with distilled water to obtain a hydrochloric acid solution with a pH of about 1.2.

2) HP-β-CD was weighed according to the prescription amounts and added to three 25 mL volumetric flasks respectively. The solution obtained in 1) was added, dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasound frequency is 59 kHz) and diluted to about 23 mL with the hydrochloric acid solution.

3) API was weighed according to the above prescription amounts, and added to the above HP-β-CD solution, respectively. For the prescription A6, 50.7 mg of citric acid was added and dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasonic frequency is 59 kHz).

4) The pH of the solution obtained in 3) was adjusted to that shown in the above table (+0.05) with 5N NaOH aqueous solution and 0.1N NaOH aqueous solution. The solution was diluted to 25 mL with distilled water.

5) The three prescription solutions were filtered with a 0.45 μm polyether sulfone filter membrane and dispensed into 10 mL penicillin bottles (2 mL per bottle), then freeze-dried.

Sample state after freeze-drying: the samples had good formability. Lyophilized samples were all fluffy snow-like solids.

The lyophilized samples of the above three prescriptions (prescriptions A4, A5, A6) were redissolved and their redissolving conditions and insoluble particles conditions in 5% glucose aqueous solution and physiological saline were evaluated.

Redissolving method: 2 mL of the following redissolving medium was added to each penicillin bottle of each lyophilized sample, and then turned upside down 30 times, and if not dissolved, shaken until dissolved. Started timing after the redissolving medium was added, and measured two samples repeatedly. The redissolving time is shown as follows:

Note: For the insoluble particles, the result was the average of the results obtained by detecting two samples respectively.

The lyophilized samples of the above three prescriptions (prescriptions A4, A5, and A6) were redissolved with the redissolving medium as shown in the following table, and redissolved drug solution was diluted in the same medium according to a certain ratio, and the dilution ratio (redissolved solution volume:dilution medium volume) was 1:2, 1:5, 1:10, respectively. The insoluble particles at 0 and 4 hours were detected for diluted solution. Diluted insoluble particles are shown as follows:

Note: For the insoluble particle, the result was the average of the results obtained by detecting two samples, with measuring the insoluble particles after 0 hour and 4 hours respectively.

It can be seen from the dilution of the above samples that no API precipitated in 4 hours. All of the three prescriptions have the potential to be intravenously dripped as drug solutions after diluted by adding a filter.

High drug loading formulation A2 and low drug loading formulation A5 with 30% HP-β-CD concentration were selected for the following tests.

Test Example 1: Measurement of Insoluble Particles and Osmotic Pressure after Placing 8 Days

According to the methods described in Example 1 and Example 2, prescription A2 and prescription A5 were prepared anew in batches of 200 mL. After lyophilized samples of prescription A2 (30% HP-β-CD+6 mg/mL API) and prescription A5 (30% HP-β-CD+2 mg/mL API) were stored at 4° C. for 8 days, insoluble particles were detected and the results are as follows:

Insoluble particles Redissolving (1 mL) n = 10 medium Storage 0 hour Prescription (2 ml) Conditions ≥10 μm ≥25 μm Prescription A5 Distilled water 4° C. 206 10 30% HP-β-CD + 2 mg/mL API Prescription A2 Distilled water 4° C. 136  8 30% HP-β-CD + 6 mg/mL API

Note: n=10 represents that 10 samples were detected for each prescription, and the result of insoluble particles was the average of the results obtained by detecting 10 samples respectively.

The result in the above table shows that after lyophilized powder of two prescriptions were stored at 4° C. for 8 days, the insoluble particles were still qualified after redissolving.

Infusion of isotonic solution to the elderly and infant patients with poor kidney and cardiopulmonary function may easily cause electrolyte retention and severe complications such as edema, therefore, isotonic infusion is referred to as “dangerous infusion” in pediatric clinic. Since continuous water loss in the forms such as evaporation of body surface, lung exhalation, generally, the safety range of the hypotonic infusion zone is relatively wide, the safety margin of the hypotonic infusion volume is relatively large, and the use range of the hypotonic infusion is relatively broad. Therefore, dilution stability tests and osmotic pressure measurements were performed with hypotonic solutions. Lyophilized sample of prescription A5 (30% HP-β-CD+2 mg/mL API) was taken, and diluted using a hypotonic solution (0.45% sodium chloride aqueous solution and 2.5% glucose aqueous solution) with different ratios after redissolving with 2 mL distilled water for each penicillin bottle. Insoluble particles and osmotic pressure were measured.

The results are as follows:

Dilution ratio Insoluble particles (1 mL) Dilution (volume 0 h 4 h Prescription medium ratio) ≥10 μm ≥25 μm ≥10 μm ≥25 μm Prescription 0.45% 1:1 33 5 33 6 A5 sodium 1:5 30 2 13 2 chloride  1:10 34 3 27 4 aqueous solution 2.5% 1:1 64 9 26 7 glucose 1:5 60 10 18 2 aqueous  1:10 42 9 11 2 solution

Note: For the insoluble particle, the result was the average of the results obtained by detecting two samples, with measuring the insoluble particles after 0 hour and 4 hours respectively.

Osmotic pressure measurement results are as follows:

Dilution ratio Osmotic Dilution (volume pressure Prescription medium ratio) (mOsm) Prescription A5 0.45% sodium 1:1 250 chloride aqueous 1:5 170 solution 1:10 157  2.5% glucose 1:1 264 aqueous solution 1:5 168 1:10 157

Note: For the osmotic pressure, the result is the average of the results obtained by detecting two samples.

The osmolarity of the isotonic solution is generally 280-320 mOsm, and it can be seen that the solution has low osmotic pressure and its insoluble particle test results are better after the prescription A5 has been diluted with different ratios.

Test Example 2: 3-Month Stability Study

Lyophilized samples of prescriptions A2 and A5 were placed in a thermostatic chamber at 25° C. and 40° C. for 3 months for stability study. For each condition, two samples were taken to investigate API content %, related substances (i.e., substances obtained from API degradation) with HPLC, and to investigate insoluble particles, see Table 1 and Table 2.

The HPLC measurement conditions for the content and related substances were as follows:

Chromatographic Waters Symmetry C18 100 4.6 mm, Column 3.5 um Mobile Phase A 0.1% TFA-water Mobile Phase B 60% acetonitrile/40% ethanol Diluent 50% water/50% acetonitrile Time (minute) % A % B Mobile Phase 0.0 95 5 20.0 30 70 25.0 0 100 27.0 0 100 27.1 95 5 35.0 95 5 Flow rate 1.0 mL/minute Column temperature 25° C.

As we can see from the above table, the content of the two lyophilized powders remained unchanged for 3 months, and according to the impurity profile, three new degradation impurities appeared, and the total amount of impurities increased slightly, but they were all within acceptable range.

The samples at the time points shown in Table 2 for prescription A2 and prescription A5 placed at 25° C. and 40° C. within three months were taken for detecting insoluble particles, as shown in the table below for details:

TABLE 2 Stability investigation of lyophilized preparations for 3 months-insoluble particles. Redis- Insoluble particles solving (1 mL) n = 2 medium 25° C. 40° C.

Note: n=2 represents that 2 samples were detected for each prescription, and the result of insoluble particles is the average of the results obtained by detecting 2 samples respectively.

It can be seen that both prescriptions are placed at 25° C. and 40° C. for 3 months respectively, and the test results of insoluble particles are good.

Test Example 3: Dynamic Adsorption Test

The lyophilized samples of prescription A2 and prescription A5 were redissolved by adding water for injection, the prescription A2 was formulated as a solution with drug concentration of 6 mg/mL, and the prescription A5 was formulated as a solution with drug concentration of 2 mg/mL, and then the state of injection into blood vessels was simulated, the physical stability under physiological conditions was investigated, and the possibility of precipitation after intravenous administration was speculated.

1. Test Operation: Using peristaltic pump to make 5% BSA (bovine serum albumin) to pass through a flexible tube (Longerpump, 14#) with 1.6 mm inner diameter at a flow rate of 5 ml/min. The redissolved drug solution was injected into the flexible tube by inserting a needle 30 cm away from the end of the flexible tube, and the injection rate of sample was controlled by syringe pump, and the injection rate was 0.2-5 ml/min (see Table 3). After the drug solution and 5% BSA solution were mixed at a certain rate, the effluent was received at the end of the flexible tube:

(1) 4 ml of effluent was taken to measure the absorbance value at 540 nm with an UV spectrophotometer and detect the presence of precipitate, and the mixed solution of blank preparation (30% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin solution) and 5% BSA serves as a control;

(2) 1 ml of effluent was taken in which 9 ml of acetonitrile was added, whirled for 5 minutes, and filtered with a 0.45 μm nylon filter membrane, and then subsequent filtrate was taken as a sample with 100% concentration for HPLC detection.

4 ml of effluent was taken and filtered with 0.45 μm PES filter membrane, and 1 ml of the subsequent filtrate was taken in which 9 ml of acetonitrile was added, whirled for 5 minutes, and filtered with 0.45 μm nylon membrane, and then 1 ml of the subsequent filtrate was taken as a sample to be tested for HPLC detection. The ratio of the sample to be tested to the sample with 100% concentration is the proportion of the unprecipitated API in the sample.

2 Test Results:

TABLE 3 Dynamic precipitation test results (n = 2) Proportion of Injection Ultraviolet unprecipitated rate Absorption drug Sample (ml/min) Phenomenon (Abs) (%) Prescription 0.2 No visible   0.003 ± 0.004 102.6 ± 3.2 A2 1.0 precipitation   0.006 ± 0.000 100.5 ± 0.6 5.0 −0.005 ± 0.001 100.4 ± 1.8 Prescription 0.2   0.004 ± 0.001 103.2 ± 2.5 A5 1.0   0.006 ± 0.001 101.6 ± 4.0 5.0 −0.006 ± 0.001 100.9 ± 1.8

Note: n=2 represents that 2 samples were detected for each prescription, and the test result is the average of the results obtained by detecting 2 samples respectively.

The results of detection of the precipitate and drug content are shown in the above table. As we can see from the results that, the UV absorbance of each group was very low, indicating that no significant precipitation occurs for the three preparations after injecting 5% BSA at different rates. After the sample effluent was filtered, the drug was almost remained in the filtrate, indicating that the drug was not precipitated.

From the results of this test, it can be seen that prescription A2 and prescription A5 investigated in the test have good compatibility with simulated plasma, and low risk of precipitation after intravenous drip or bolus.

Test Example 4: Static Adsorption Test

A static adsorption experiment was conducted to verify the conclusion of the dynamic adsorption experiment more fully.

Diluent 1 was PBS (phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.4) containing 50 mmol/L NaH₂PO₄, and BSA (bovine serum albumin) was dissolved with this diluent 1 to prepare 5% BSA diluent 2.

Lyophilized samples of prescription A5 (30% HP-β-CD+2 mg/mL API, final pH=4.0) and prescription A2 (30% HP-β-CD+6 mg/mL API, final pH=6.0) were taken and redissolved with 2 mL of distilled water, respectively. Then diluted different dilution times (volume ratios) with the above diluent 1 and diluent 2 to observe whether samples were precipitated, and the dilute test at each dilution times was repeated once. The results are as follows:

Dilution Dilution Prescription medium times Results Prescription PBS diluent 1:1 No obvious precipitation within A5 2 hours 1:5 No obvious precipitation within 2 hours 1:10 No obvious precipitation within 2 hours BSA diluent 1:1 No obvious precipitation within 2 hours 1:5 No obvious precipitation within 2 hours 1:10 No obvious precipitation within 2 hours Prescription PBS diluent 1:1 No obvious precipitation within A2 2 hours 1:5 Solid precipitation after 30 minutes 1:10 Solid precipitation after 20 minutes BSA diluent 1:1 No obvious precipitation within 2 hours 1:5 No obvious precipitation within 2 hours 1:10 No obvious precipitation within 2 hours

The experiment results showed that no significant solid precipitation occurred after the prescription A5 was diluted in different ratios with PBS (pH=7.4) and PBS containing 5% BSA (pH=7.4). This result further verified that the prescription A5 could be administered by intravenous drip after diluted within 10 times.

When the prescription A2 was diluted in the ratios of 1:5 and 1:10 with PBS (pH=7.4) (diluent 1), solid was precipitated within half an hour, while diluted in same ratios with PBS (pH=7.4) (diluent 2) containing 5% BSA, no obvious precipitation occurs within 2 hours. After 16 hours, a large amount of solids were precipitated in the dilution group of diluent 1, while less solids were precipitated in the dilution group of diluent 2. The experiment results showed that BSA prevented the drug precipitation by combination with a portion of drug. The results of the dynamic adsorption test showed that no drug precipitation occurs for the prescription A2 at different drip rates. Therefore, it is considered that the use of intravenous bolus (bolus 11.6 mL, bolus for 2-3 minutes) is feasible when this prescription is administered at a dose of 69.5 mg.

Example 3: Preparation and Evaluation of KX2-361.Benzene Sulfonate Lyophilized Agent and Redissolving Solution for Injection (the Concentration of HP-β-CD was 20%, Drug Loading was High)

Prescriptions with the following compositions were prepared:

Molar ratio Mass ratio HP-β-CD API (HP-β-CD:API) (HP-β-CD:KX2-361) Prescription 20% 3 21-26:1 100:1.08 A7 mg/mL Prescription 20% 4 16-20:1 100:1.44 A8 mg/mL

Note: The molecular weight of HP-β-CD is 1431-1806. Therefore, the upper and lower limits of the molecular weight were respectively taken to calculate the molar ratio.

The above-mentioned prescriptions were prepared according to the following steps successively:

1) 1.8 mL concentrated hydrochloric acid was placed in a 200 mL volumetric flask and diluted to 200 mL with distilled water to obtain a hydrochloric acid solution with a pH of about 1.2.

2) HP-β-CD was weighed according to the above prescription amounts and added into two 25 mL volumetric flasks, respectively. The solution obtained in 1) was added, dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasound frequency was 59 kHz) and diluted to about 23 mL with the above hydrochloric acid solution.

3) API was weighed according to the above prescription amounts and added to the above HP-β-CD solution, respectively, and dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasonic frequency was 59 kHz).

4) The pH of the solution obtained in 3) was adjusted to about 6.0 (+0.05) with 5N NaOH aqueous solution and 0.1N NaOH aqueous solution respectively. The solution was diluted to 25 mL with distilled water.

5) The two prescription solutions were filtered with a 0.45 μm polyether sulfone filter membrane and dispensed into 10 mL penicillin bottles (dispensed by 2 mL volume per bottle), and freeze-dried.

The freeze-drying curve was as follows:

Vacuum Vacuum Condenser Temperature control Time pump pre-freezing Stage (° C.) (Pa) (minute) state (° C.) 1 −40 OFF 5 OFF −40 2 −40 OFF 120 OFF 3 −40 20 ± 2 360 ON 4 −20 20 ± 2 360 ON 5 −20 10 ± 2 360 ON 6 0 10 ± 2 360 ON 7 0 10 ± 2 360 ON 8 10 No control 360 ON 9 10 No control 120 ON

Sample state after freeze-drying: the samples had good formability. Lyophilized samples were all white fluffy snow-like solids.

The lyophilized samples of the above two prescriptions (prescriptions A7 and A8) were redissolved and their redissolving status and insoluble particles were evaluated.

Redissolving method: 2 mL of water and the following buffered saline solution were added to each penicillin bottle of each lyophilized sample, and then turned upside down 30 times, and if not dissolved, shaken until dissolved. Started timing after the redissolving medium was added, and performed two repetitions simultaneously.

The compositions of the buffer salt were as follows:

pH (Theoretical Theoretical value/Actual weighing/Actual value) Ingredient weighing Concentration 4.0/4.00 Citric acid 210.14 mg/211.4 mg c = 0.01 mmol/L monohydrate 5.0/5.01 Sodium acetate 136.08 mg/137.4 mg c = 0.01 mmol/L trihydrate 6.0/6.00 Sodium 156.06 mg/156.6 mg c = 0.01 mmol/L dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate

The redissolving time is shown as follows:

Redissolving medium with different pH Prescription A7 Prescription A8 pH = 4.0 About 1.5 minutes About 1.5 minutes pH = 5.0 About 1.5 minutes About 1.5 minutes pH = 6.0 About 1.5 minutes About 1.5 minutes Water About 3 minutes About 3 minutes

Note: the redissolving time for each prescription was the average of two repetitions.

Insoluble particles are shown as follows:

Insoluble particles (1 mL) 0 hour 4 hours ≥10 μm ≥25 μm ≥10 μm ≥25 μm Prescription A7 pH = 4.0 641 127 370 54 pH = 5.0 490 56 249 27 pH = 6.0 435 47 285 36 Prescription A8 pH = 4.0 192 11 138 19 pH = 5.0 328 25 224 27 pH = 6.0 660 182 218 45

Note: The insoluble particles of each prescription were measured by combining two bottles, with measuring after 0 and 4 hours respectively.

From the above results, it can be found that when the sample containing 20% HP-β-CD was redissolved with buffer salts of different pH values, the redissolving time was reduced to about 1.5 minutes from about 3 minutes when redissolved with pure water. Moreover, the test results of the insoluble particles of prescription A8 redissolved in the buffered saline solutions of pH 4.0 and pH 5.0 were more superior than those of prescription A7.

Example 4: Preparation and Evaluation of KX2-361.Benzene Sulphonate Lyophilized Agent and Redissolving Solution for Injection (the Concentration of HP-1-CD was 20%, Drug Loading was Low, Inclusion pH was 1.2)

A prescription with the following composition was prepared:

Molar ratio Mass ratio HP-β- (HP-β- (HP-β- Inclusion Final CD API CD:API) CD:KX2-361) pH value pH value Prescription 20% 2 mg/mL 31-39:1 100:0.72 1.2 4.0 A9

Note: The molecular weight of HP-β-CD is 1431-1806. Therefore, the upper and lower limits of the molecular weight were respectively taken to calculate the molar ratio.

The above prescription was prepared according to the following steps successively:

1) 1.8 mL concentrated hydrochloric acid was placed in a 200 mL volumetric flask and diluted to 200 mL with distilled water to obtain a hydrochloric acid solution with pH=1.21.

2) HP-β-CD was weighed according to the above prescription amount and added to 25 mL volumetric flask. The solution obtained in 1) was added, dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasound frequency was 59 kHz) and diluted to about 23 mL with the above hydrochloric acid solution.

3) API was weighed according to the above prescription amount and added to the above HP-β-CD solution, and dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasonic frequency was 59 kHz).

4) The pH of the solution obtained in 3) was adjusted to about 4.0 (+0.05) with 5N NaOH aqueous solution and 0.1N NaOH aqueous solution. The solution was diluted to 25 mL with distilled water.

5) The prescription solution was filtered with a 0.45 μm polyether sulfone filter membrane and dispensed into 10 mL penicillin bottles (2 mL per bottle), and freeze-dried.

The freeze-drying curve was as follows:

Vacuum Vacuum Condenser Temperature control Time pump pre-freezing Stage (° C.) (Pa) (minute) state (° C.) 1 −40 OFF 5 OFF −40 2 −40 OFF 120 OFF 3 −40 20 ± 2 360 ON 4 −20 20 ± 2 360 ON 5 −20 10 ± 2 360 ON 6 0 10 ± 2 360 ON 7 0 10 ± 2 360 ON 8 10 No control 360 ON 9 10 No control 120 ON

Sample state after freeze-drying: the sample had good formability. Lyophilized sample was pale yellow fluffy snow-like solids.

Two penicillin bottles of the lyophilized sample of prescription A9 were taken and redissolved with 2 mL of physiological saline (i.e., 0.9% sodium chloride aqueous solution) and 5% glucose aqueous solution, and then diluted with the corresponding solution to detect insoluble particles, and the dilute test at each dilution times was repeated once. The results are as follows:

Dilution ratio Insoluble particles (1 mL) Redissolving Dilution (volume 0 hour 4 hours medium medium ratio) ≥10 μm ≥25 μm ≥10 μm ≥25 μm Prescription Physiological Physiological 1:2 108 11 No solid A9 saline saline precipitation 1:5 93 19 Solid  1:10 76 12 precipitated out after 2.5 h 5% glucose 5% glucose 1:2 89 20 No solid aqueous aqueous precipitation solution solution 1:5 122 19 Solid precipitation after 2.5 h

Note: For the insoluble particles, the result was the average of the results obtained by detecting two samples, with measuring the insoluble particles after 0 hour and 4 hours, respectively.

From the above table, it can be seen that, after prescription A9 was dissolved, the solution obtained by diluting within 2 times with same medium had good stability, while the systems obtained by multi-fold dilution were unstable and easy to precipitate solids. Therefore, prescription A9 can be administered directly after redissolution, it also can be administered after being redissolved and diluted within 2 times by volume.

Example 5: Preparation and Evaluation of KX2-361.Benzene Sulphonate Lyophilized Preparation for Injection (the Concentration of HP-β-CD was 20%, Drug Loading was Low, Inclusion pH was 2)

Prescriptions with the following composition were prepared:

Molar ratio Mass ratio HP-β- (HP-β- (HP-β- Inclusion Final CD API CD:API) CD:KX2-361) pH pH value Prescription 20% 2 mg/mL 31-39:1 100:0.72 2.0 4.0 A10 Prescription 20% 1.5 mg/mL 42-53:1 100:0.54 2.0 4.0 A11

Note: The molecular weight of HP-β-CD is 1431-1806. Therefore, the upper and lower limits of the molecular weight were respectively taken to calculate the molar ratio.

The above prescriptions were prepared according to the following steps successively:

1) 0.18 mL concentrated hydrochloric acid was placed in a 200 mL volumetric flask and diluted to 200 mL with distilled water to obtain a hydrochloric acid solution with pH=2.03.

2) HP-β-CD was weighed according to the above prescription amounts and added to a 25 mL volumetric flask respectively. The solution obtained in 1) was added, dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasound frequency was 59 kHz) and diluted to about 23 mL with the above hydrochloric acid solution.

3) The API was weighed according to the above prescription amounts, and added to the above HP-β-CD solutions, respectively, and dissolved by stirring at 40° C. for about 1.5 hours (prescription 10) and 1 hour (prescription 11) respectively.

4) The pH of the solution obtained in 3) was adjusted to about 4.0 (+0.05) with 5N NaOH aqueous solution and 0.1N NaOH aqueous solution respectively. The solution was diluted to 25 mL with distilled water.

5) The two prescription solutions were filtered with a 0.45 μm polyether sulfone filter membrane and dispensed into 10 mL penicillin bottles (2 mL per bottle), and freeze-dried.

The freeze-drying curve was as follows:

Vacuum Vacuum Condenser Temperature control Time pump pre-freezing Stage (° C.) (Pa) (minute) state (° C.) 1 −40 OFF 5 OFF −40 2 −40 OFF 120 OFF 3 −40 20 ± 2 360 ON 4 −20 20 ± 2 360 ON 5 −20 10 ± 2 360 ON 6 0 10 ± 2 360 ON 7 0 10 ± 2 360 ON 8 10 No control 360 ON 9 10 No control 120 ON

Sample state after freeze-drying: the samples had good formability. The lyophilized samples were pale yellow and near white fluffy snow-like solids.

Test Example 5: Study on the Properties of Prescriptions A9-A11

1. Redissolving test and inspection of insoluble particles

This test example investigated the redissolving and insoluble particles of prescriptions A9-A11 in 5% glucose aqueous solution, distilled water and physiological saline (i.e., 0.9% sodium chloride injection).

Redissolving method: redissolving media having the following volumes were added to each penicillin bottle of each lyophilized sample, respectively, and then turned upside down 30 times, and if not dissolved, shaken until dissolved. Started timing after the redissolving media were added.

The redissolving time is shown as follows:

Prescription Prescription Prescription A9 A10 A11 Distilled water (4 mL) About 1.5 About 1.5 About 1.5 minutes minutes minutes 5% aqueous glucose About 2 About 2 About 2 solution (2 mL) minutes minutes minutes Physiological saline About 2 About 2 About 2 (2 mL) minutes minutes minutes

Insoluble particles are shown as follows:

Insoluble particles (1 mL) Redissolving 0 hour 4 hours Prescription medium ≥10 μm ≥25 μm ≥10 μm ≥25 μm Prescription A9 Distilled 154 4 111 10 water 5% glucose 253 24 142 21 aqueous solution Physiological 192 12 201 39 saline Prescription A10 Distilled 262 19 129 21 water 5% glucose 335 39 186 30 aqueous solution Physiological 615 64 310 56 saline Prescription A11 Distilled 265 21 171 13 water 5% glucose 232 29 214 29 aqueous solution Physiological 362 35 177 17 saline

Note: For each prescription, the redissolving time is the average of that of two bottles, and the insoluble particles were measured by combining two bottles, with measuring after 0 and 4 hours respectively.

From the phenomenon and results of the test, it can be seen that when the inclusion pH was increased to 2.03, the inclusion difficulty increased (for example, it needs to be stirred at 40° C. for more than 1 hour), and the insoluble particles of the redissolving solution after lyophilization increased compared to those when inclusion pH=1.2. However, the insoluble particles of prescription A9-A11 all met the requirements for the preparation of intravenous injections.

2. Stability of Inclusion Samples with Different pH:

Lyophilized samples of prescription A9-A11 were taken to formulate two bottles of solutions (each with a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL) with water, respectively. The related substances were measured by HPLC (see the HPLC measurement conditions for the content and related substances described in Test Example 2). The results are shown as follows:

Total Main Average total Sample impurity % peak area impurity % Time/minute 13.52 Prescription A9 0.74 80124726 0.79 0.83 78985848 Prescription A10 0.73 81841754 0.76 0.78 82415409 Prescription A11 0.77 82362183 0.81 0.84 80282149

It can be seen from the above table that the total impurities of prescriptions A10 and A11 are not significantly reduced compared to that of prescription A9. Considering that compared with the inclusion process with pH 1.2, the inclusion time is significantly increased and the inclusion process is more difficult when the inclusion pH is 2; therefore, the process is most preferably performed under condition of pH 1.2.

Example 6: Preparation and Evaluation of KX2-361.Benzene Sulfonate Lyophilized Agent and Redissolving Solution for Injection (the Concentration of HP-β-CD was 10%, Drug Loading was Low)

Prescriptions with the following composition were prepared:

Molar ratio Mass ratio HP-β- (HP-β- (HP-β- Inclusion Final CD API CD:API) CD:KX2-361 pH pH value Prescription 10% 1 mg/mL 31-39:1 100:0.72 1.2 4.0 A12 Prescription 10% 0.7 mg/mL 45-56:1 100:0.50 1.2 4.0 A13

Note: The molecular weight of HP-β-CD is 1431-1806. Therefore, the upper and lower limits of the molecular weight were respectively taken to calculate the molar ratio.

The above prescriptions according to the following steps successively:

1) 1.8 mL concentrated hydrochloric acid was placed in a 200 mL volumetric flask and diluted to 200 mL with distilled water to obtain a hydrochloric acid solution with a pH of about 1.2.

2) HP-β-CD was weighed according to the above prescription amounts and added to two 25 mL volumetric flasks. The solution obtained in 1) was added respectively, dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasonic frequency was 59 kHz) and diluted to about 25 mL with the above hydrochloric acid solution.

3) API was weighed according to the above prescription amounts and added to the above HP-β-CD solution respectively, and dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasonic frequency was 59 kHz).

4) The pH of the solution obtained in 3) was adjusted to about 4.0 (+0.05) with 5N NaOH aqueous solution and 0.1N NaOH aqueous solution respectively. The solution was diluted to 50 mL with distilled water.

5) 0.1 g of activated carbon for injection was added to two solutions obtained in 4), stirred at room temperature for half an hour, and then filtered with a 0.45 μm polyether sulfone filter membrane and the prescription solutions were dispensed into 10 mL penicillin bottles (2 mL per bottle), and freeze dried.

The freeze-drying curve was as follows:

Condenser Temperature Vacuum Time Vacuum pre-freezing Stage (° C.) control (Pa) (minute) pump state (° C.) 1 −40 OFF 5 OFF −40 2 −40 OFF 120 OFF 3 −40 20 ± 2 360 ON 4 −20 20 ± 2 360 ON 5 −20 10 ± 2 360 ON 6 0 10 ± 2 360 ON 7 0 10 ± 2 360 ON 8 10 No control 360 ON 9 10 No control 120 ON

Sample state after freeze-drying: the samples had good formability. Lyophilized samples were white loose solids.

The lyophilized samples of the above two prescriptions (prescriptions A12 and A13) were redissolved, and their redissolving status and insoluble particles in physiological saline, distilled water and buffered saline solutions of different pH (formulation method was the same as that of the buffered saline solutions with pH 4, 5 and 6 in Example 3) were evaluated.

Redissolving method: 2 mL of the following redissolving medium was added to each penicillin bottle of each lyophilized sample, and then turned upside down 30 times, and if not dissolved, shaken until dissolved. Started timing after redissolving medium was added, and repeated the redissolving test in each medium once.

The redissolving time of both prescriptions was about 1 minute.

Insoluble particles were shown as follows:

Insoluble particles (1 mL) Redissolving 0 hour 4 hours Prescription medium ≥10 μm ≥25 μm ≥10 μm ≥25 μm Prescription A12 Distilled water 185.3 18.0 163.5 21.5 Physiological 225.0 12.3 157.5 20.0 saline Medium with 356.7  9.7  88.5 16.0 pH = 4 Medium with  88.3  7.3 214.0 17.5 pH = 5 Medium with 125.0 11.0 137.5 20.5 pH = 6 Prescription A13 Distilled water 347.3 20.0 235.7 20.0 Physiological 270.0 19.7 303.0 22.3 saline Medium with 349.7 33.7 239.7 11.3 pH = 5

Note: each value in the table is the average of three measurements.

From the above results, it can be found that both A12 and A13 meet the requirements of intravenous injections, and compared with prescription A13, the prescription A12 has less insoluble particles, but compared with prescription A9 (20% HP-β-CD+2 mg/mL API), prescription A12 has more insoluble particles. It shows that when the concentrations of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and drug are reduced in equal proportion, the inclusion ability of low concentration of cyclodextrin to encapsulate drug weakens. Therefore, it is also important for the development of KX2-361 injection to further select suitable concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and inclusion concentration of the drug based on the present disclosure.

Comparative Example 1: Drug Solubility Test

KX2-361 and its salts are all poorly soluble drugs, and the solubility of KX2-361.benzene sulfonate in the following media was tested comparatively in this comparative example.

(1) Aqueous Solution Containing Surfactant

The drug (KX2-361.benzene sulfonate) (containing 10 mg of KX2-361) was added to each of 10% Cremophor EL aqueous solution (50 ml), 2% Tween80 aqueous solution (50 ml), 8% Solutol HS15 aqueous solution (50 ml) and 0.6% Poloxamer 188 aqueous solution (50 ml), respectively, and the drug failed to completely dissolve after magnetic stirring for 1 hour.

(2) Single Solubilizer (Anhydrous)

The drug may be dissolved using a sufficient amount of solubilizer alone, but the solubility is generally very low; and the drug solution may not be unprecipitated during the dilution process with water. The content of each component of the system when drugs precipitate is shown in Table 4.

TABLE 4 Water-addition-precipitating critical point of drug solution of each solubilizer. KX2-361• benzene Solubilizers sulfonate Water Temperature Cremophor EL 17.1 g 100 mg 6.7 g 40° C. Solutolo HS-15 10 g 100 mg 4.5 g 40° C. Solutolo HS-15 15 g 100 mg 8.7 g 28° C. Solutolo HS-15 20 g 100 mg 12.6 g  28° C.

(3) Single Non-Aqueous Solvent or Composite Solvent

In this study, a dissolution test was performed using a single non-aqueous solvent ethanol. It was found that the solubility of KX2-361.benzene sulfonate in ethanol was 1.12-2.38 mg/mL, that is, about 50-100 ml of ethanol is needed to dissolve 100 mg of the drug, apparently, a large amount of ethanol can not be used for intravenous administration.

In this study, a dissolution test was also performed using composite solvents composed of PEG400 or PEG200 and absolute ethanol, respectively. It was found that there was also a problem that the required solvent volume was too large and can not be diluted with aqueous solution system.

In addition, in this study, dissolution tests were also performed using a single non-aqueous solvent propylene glycol, or a composite solvent composed of propylene glycol and other non-aqueous solvent. It was found that the drug containing 50 mg of KX2-361 (KX2-361.benzene sulfonate) could substantially be dissolved using 20 ml of propylene glycol alone, but a trace of small particles was still present in the clear solution. When the non-aqueous solvent propylene glycol was used in combination with other solvents such as ethanol and PEG400, it did not contribute to the dissolution of the drug substantially.

(4) Composite Solvent Composed of Solubilizer and Other Solvents

The drug was solubilized with a binary or ternary system composed of solubilizer (Cremophor EL or Solutolo HS 15) and solvent (including water and propylene glycol), and two kinds of following solvent systems were selected to dissolve the drugs, namely: {circle around (1)} a solvent system of propylene glycol: Cremophor EL (50:50) (v/v) (5 ml), which can dissolve drug containing 50 mg KX2-361, and obtain a solution having good stability; {circle around (2)} 11.5 ml of composite solvent (composed of 10 ml of propylene glycol, 1 ml of Cremophor EL and 0.5 ml of water), which also can dissolve the drug. Next, the dilution stability of these two solvent systems was tested.

(5) Dilution Stability Test

The dilution stability test was performed on the above drug-containing solution that can be dissolved clarification. Equal volume dilutions were performed using the aqueous solutions containing different surfactants described in (1), 0.9% sodium chloride injection or 5% glucose injection, and it was found that the solutions all become turbid, i.e., the drug was precipitated.

The above tests showed that in the current solvents, solubilizers, or mixed systems that can be used for injection, the drugs of the present disclosure cannot achieve high solubility or can not be diluted even after dissolution, that is, it is difficult to ensure that the drug solution would not precipitate after entering blood vessels.

Comparative Example 2: Measurement of Inclusion Ability of Different Concentrations and Kinds of Cyclodextrins for Encapsulating API

Different kinds of cyclodextrins were dissolved with a pH 1.2 aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (0.1N) to determine the saturation concentration of each cyclodextrin. The KX2-361.benzene sulfonate was dissolved in different concentrations and kinds of cyclodextrin solutions to investigate the inclusion ability and inclusion effect of different concentrations and kinds of cyclodextrin for encapsulating API.

(1) A certain amount of α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrin were weighed and added into a 10 mL volumetric flask, then added aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of pH 1.2 gradually until reaching the scale of the flask, shocked and performed ultrasound to dissolve the cyclodextrin. The maximum amount of cyclodextrin capable of being dissolved in a 10 mL solution was recorded. The experimental results show that the maximum solubilities of α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin and γ-cyclodextrin in aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of pH 1.2 are about 8%, about 1% and about 20%, respectively.

(2) 8% α-cyclodextrin solution, 1% β-cyclodextrin solution, 20% γ-cyclodextrin solution, 20%, 30%, and 40% sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin solution and 20%, 30%, and 40% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin solution were formulated with hydrochloric acid aqueous solution of pH 1.2.

A certain amount of API was weighed and added into an appropriate volume of the cyclodextrin solution. If API was completely dissolved, the solution was filtered with a 0.45 μm PTFE filter membrane, and pH was slowly adjusted to 4.0 with a 5N NaOH aqueous solution and a 0.1N NaOH aqueous solution, observing during the pH adjusting procedure. If the solution becomes turbid when adjusting the pH, try to reduce the concentration of API. The clear solution after the pH adjustment was left to stand to observe the state of the solution after standing for 2 hours, 4 hours, and 24 hours. The experimental process and results are shown in Table 5 below:

According to the experimental phenomena and results, the inclusion effect of HP-β-CD for encapsulating API was significantly better than that of SBE-β-CD, and the inclusion effects of α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, and γ-cyclodextrin for encapsulating API were all poor.

Example 7: Preparation and Evaluation of Oral Tablets

(I) Preparation of Lyophilized Powder

Preparation of hydrochloric acid aqueous solution of pH 1.2:0.9 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added into a 100 ml volumetric flask and diluted to 100 ml with distilled water.

Preparation of 30% HP-β-CD solution and 7 mg/ml drug-containing solution (molar ratio of HP-β-CD:API was 13-17:1, mass ratio of HP-β-CD:KX2-361 was 100:1.68).

70 ml of hydrochloric acid aqueous solution of pH 1.2 was added to a 250 ml beaker. 30 g of HP-β-CD was weighed and added to the hydrochloric acid aqueous solution under magnetic stirring until all of HP-β-CD was dissolved.

700 mg of KX2-361.benzene sulfonate was weighed, API was added to the formulated HP-β-CD solution under magnetic stirring, the drug was dissolved completely by ultrasound (ultrasonic frequency was 59 kHz). The pH of the drug solution was adjusted to about 4.0 with 5N NaOH aqueous solution and 0.1 N NaOH aqueous solution, and an appropriate amount of distilled water was added to adjust final volume to 100 ml, the final pH was measured as 4.0. Or adjusted volume directly without adjusting pH (i.e., the pH of drug solution is 1.2).

Filtration: the drug solution was filtered through a 0.45 μm PES filter membrane and the filtrate was placed in a stainless steel tray, with a liquid level of about 0.3 cm.

(B) Prescription Process and Tableting Process

Lyophilized powder (pH 1.2) and lyophilized powder (pH 4.0) were sieved through a 40 mesh sieve.

Raw materials were weighed and mixed according to the ratios provided by the prescriptions.

Tableting by 14 mg API per tablet using a 19×8 special-shaped punch. During the tableting process, the tablet thickness was adjusted according to the hardness and the hardness was controlled in a range of 50-100 N.

The dissolution characteristics of the tablets of which hardness and tablet weight were both qualified were investigated.

(III) Evaluation of Dissolution

After the tableting scale increases, sticking and picking will occur in the tableting process of prescriptions B1 and B2 containing 0.5% magnesium stearate.

Dissolution Test Method:

Formulation of dissolution medium (pH 4.0, containing 1.0% SDS): 1.22 g of sodium acetate trihydrate and 10 g of SDS were dissolved in 950 ml of pure water, adjusted to pH 4.0 with acetic acid, and final volume was adjusted to 1 L.

The rotary basket method (the method refers to the First Method, Dissolution and Release Measurement Method, Chinese Pharmacopoeia Part IV 0903, 2015 Edition) was used in the test, 900 ml of dissolution medium was used for each tablet, rotation rate was 50 rpm, and temperature was 37° C. The sampling time points were 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes, respectively. The rotation rate was adjusted to 250 rpm after 60 minutes, and samples at 90 minutes were taken as the ultimate dissolution of each tablet.

The dissolution amount of API was detected by HPLC (the process refers to HPLC measurement conditions of the content and the related substances described in Test Example 2), and then the dissolution was calculated with an external standard method.

According to the above method, the dissolution of the prescriptions B1, B3 and B4 was measured and compared, as shown in the following table:

TABLE 6 Dissolution results Prescription B3 Prescription B4 Prescription B1 Time Aver- Aver- Aver- (minute) age, % RSD age, % RSD age, % RSD 0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 5 37.9 7.2 39.1 0.8 41.2 5.9 10 70.9 6.1 73.2 4.0 78.1 2.6 15 95.4 3.6 97.8 3.8 96.7 0.2 20 103.2 0.4 100.8 1.4 98.2 0.6 30 103.2 0.6 101.2 1.3 98.3 0.9 45 103.3 0.6 101.3 1.2 98.4 0.7 60 102.9 0.7 100.9 1.3 98.3 0.1 90 103.1 0.4 101.2 1.2 98.2 0.8

The comparison between prescription B3 and B4 shows that, it will have little effect on the dissolution results whether the pH of the drug solution is adjusted from 1.2 to 4.0 before lyophilization.

The comparison between prescription B1 and prescription B4 shows that, after increasing the magnesium stearate from 0.5% (w/w) to 1% (w/w), the API dissolution rate is slightly slower within 15 minutes, but all the API dissolution rates reach more than 95% at 15 minutes.

Comparative Example 3: Comparative Test of Bioavailability of Tablets

The prescription B4 tablet of Example 7 was orally administered to dogs, and test substance for intravenous administration was intravenously injected to dogs at a dose containing 0.5 mg/kg of KX2-361 for comparison, and then the absolute bioavailability of the oral tablet was calculated.

Operation Method:

1. Oral administration: Three healthy male beagle dogs (weight range was 8-12 kg, number of dogs is 201M\201M\203M, respectively) were taken and each dog was given a single oral dose of 5 tablets. The dogs were fasted overnight before administration and refed at 4 hours after administration; the dogs were prohibited drinking water for 1 hour before and 1 hour after administration.

2. Intravenous Injection:

Preparation of test substances for intravenous administration: 19.34 mg of KX2-361.benzene sulfonate was accurately weighed and placed in a glass bottle, 5.565 mL of ethanol was added, whirled and then sonicated at 24° C. for 3 minutes, and 33.393 mL of PEG400 was added, whirled and then sonicated at 24° C. for 4 minutes, 16.696 mL of physiological saline was added, whirled and then sonicated at 24° C. for 4 minutes to obtain a colorless and transparent solution with theoretical concentration of 0.25 mg/mL.

The test dogs were fasted overnight before administration and fed four hours after the administration. The test substances was administered by a slow intravenous bolus (about 8 minutes), the dogs were prohibited drinking water for 1 hour before and 1 hour after administration.

3. Determination of bioavailability: for the oral administration group and the intravenous administration group, blood was sampled by puncturing the forelimb cephalic vein (about 0.5 mL) into anticoagulant tubes containing 5 uL EDTA-K2 (20%) 0.083 (only for the intravenous administration group), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours after administration. The blood samples were centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 6 minutes (placed on wet ice before centrifuging) within 1 hour. The supernatant, i.e., plasma, was taken, and cryostoraged at −20° C. in a refrigerator for LC-MS/MS analysis with mass spectrometer (tolbutamide was used as internal standard, mode: APCI ionization, MRM detection). The pharmacokinetic parameters are shown in the table below, and the curve of the plasma concentration over time is shown in FIG. 1. The area under the curve_((0-t)) (AUC_((0-t))) of the intravenous administration group was 164.3. The calculation formula of absolute bioavailability (F %) is: F %=(oral AUC_((0-t))/oral dose)/(intravenous AUC_((0-t))/intravenous dose)×100%.

It can be seen that, relatively high bioavailability (average F % was 75.7%) is achieved by orally administering the tablets to dogs.

Other preparation schemes such as preparations 1 and 2 (formulation and process are shown below) were used to detect the absorption of the animal in vivo. Orally administrate to dogs, research pharmacodynamics (the method is the same as the above), and calculate the absolute bioavailability, and the results are as follows:

Absolute bio- availability Formulation Brief Description F (%) of Preparation (Mass ratio) of Process Beagle dog Preparation 1 KX2-361•BSA: The caprylocaproyl 3.24% caprylocaproyl macrogolglycerides, macrogolglycerides: polyglycerol oleate, polyglyceryl oleate: and propanediol were 1,2-propanediol mixed uniformly (0.3:22.5:3.75:3.75) in proportion; the drug was dissolved with the mixed liquid; the drug solution was encapsulated. Preparation 2 KX2-361•BSA: An appropriate 3.86% povidone K30:sodium amount of water lauryl sulfate:micro was added as a powder silica gel: dispersant to talcum powder:tartaric povidone K30, and acid core = drug and sodium 22.5:5.25:1:12.5:75:150 lauryl sulfate were added for wet grinding; micro powder silica gel and talcum powder were added to the suspension, and the suspension was applied to tartaric acid core in a fluidized bed, dried and filled into capsules. Prescription B4 See Example 7 See Example 7 75.7%

It can be seen that, compared to the other two preparation schemes, inclusion of KX2-361.benzene sulfonate with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, followed by tableting, achieves higher absorption (about 20 times), which shows that, in the preparations of the present disclosure, the adjuvant hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin has a significant effect in enhancing the in vivo bioavailability of drug.

Test Example 6: Stability Investigation

Tablets of prescription B3 (containing lyophilized powder of pH 1.2) and prescription B4 (containing lyophilized powder of pH 4.0) were loaded into high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with desiccant (allochroic silica gel), then placed in a stability box at 40° C./75% RH for high-temperature acceleration test, samples were taken at the end of 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months respectively to measure the relevant substances (the method refers to HPLC measurement conditions of the content and the related substances described in Test Example 2).

TABLE 8 Tablet Stability Investigation Results of Prescription B3 and B4 Number Sample Total impurity (%) 1 Prescription B3-0 day 0.36 (n = 2) 2 Prescription B 3-1 month 2.28 3 Prescription B 3-2 months 3.88 4 Prescription B 3-3 months 9.04 5 Prescription B4-0 day 0.30 (n = 2) 6 Prescription B4-1 month 0.39 7 Prescription B4-2 months 0.26 8 Prescription B4-3 months 0.65

Note: n=2 represents that two samples are taken and measured respectively, and the result is the average of the two samples.

In the investigation process of acceleration for 1 month to 3 months, impurities of prescription B3 increased, which may be in association with the strong acid environment; impurities of prescription B4 increased slightly but showed no remarkable change. It can be seen that the process that pH is adjusted back after inclusion is preferable for the preparation of oral tablets.

Example 8: Preparation and Evaluation of Tablets

(I) Lyophilization Process

Formulation of hydrochloric acid aqueous solution of pH 1.2:9 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid was added into a 1000 ml volumetric flask and diluted to the final volume with distilled water.

Formulation method of 30% HP-β-CD solution: 700 ml of hydrochloric acid aqueous solution of pH 1.2 was added into a 1000 ml beaker. 300 g of HP-β-CD was weighed and added into the hydrochloric acid aqueous solution of pH 1.2 under magnetic stirring until all the HP-β-CD was dissolved, distilled water was added to bring the volume to 1000 ml. Formulate a certain amount for use.

(1) Formulation of about 7 mg/ml drug-containing preparation (molar ratio of HP-β-CD:API was 13-17:1, mass ratio of HP-β-CD:KX2-361 was 100:1.68): 1750 mg of KX2-361.benzene sulfonate was weighed and then added to 250 ml of the above HP-β-CD solution with stirring, dissolved completely by ultrasound (ultrasonic frequency is 59 kHz), and pH was adjusted to 4.0 with 5N NaOH aqueous solution and 0.1N NaOH aqueous solution. Then the solution was filtered through a 0.45 μm PES filter membrane and the filtrate was placed in a stainless steel tray, with a liquid level of about 0.5 cm. The filtrate was lyophilizated and then named as lyophilized powder I (lyophilization method was the same as Example 7, the same below).

(2) Formulation of about 14 mg/ml of drug preparation (molar ratio of HP-β-CD:API was 7-8:1, mass ratio of HP-β-CD:KX2-361 was 100:3.36): 4200 mg of KX2-361.benzene sulfonate was weighed and then added to 300 ml of the above HP-β-CD solution under stirring, dissolved completely by ultrasound (ultrasonic frequency was 59 kHz). The solution was filtered through a 0.45 μm PES filter membrane and the filtrate was placed in a stainless steel tray, with a liquid level of about 0.5 cm. The filtrate was lyophilizated and then named as lyophilized powder II.

(3) Formulation of 21 mg/ml of drug preparation (molar ratio of HP-β-CD:API was 4-6:1, mass ratio of HP-β-CD:KX2-361 was 100:5.03): 6300 mg of KX2-361.benzene sulfonate was weighed and then added to 300 ml of the above HP-β-CD solution with stirring, and the API was not completely dissolved by ultrasound (ultrasonic frequency was 59 kHz) for 30 minutes and a certain amount of insoluble particles were still present. The solution was filtered through a 0.45 μm PES filter membrane and the filtrate was placed in a stainless steel tray, with a liquid level of about 0.5 cm. After the 21 mg/ml of drug preparation was filtered, the concentration was 20.66 mg/ml calibrated with HPLC. The filtrate was lyophilizated and then named as lyophilized powder III.

(II) Prescription Composition and Tableting Process

The lyophilized powders prepared were sieved through a 40 mesh sieve respectively.

Raw materials were weighed according to the ratios designed by the following prescriptions.

Prescription B4 (prepared anew, Prescription B5 Prescription B6 Prescription API content (API content is (API content is composition is 14 mg) 28 mg) 42 mg) Lyophilized 614 powder I (mg) Lyophilized 628 powder II (mg) Lyophilized 642 powder III (mg) Magnesium 6.14 (1%) 6.28 (1%) 6.42 (1%) stearate (mg)

Tableting with 600 mg HP-β-CD per tablet using a 19×8 special-shaped punch. During the tableting process, the tablet thickness was adjusted according to the hardness which was controlled in the range of 50-100 N.

According to the method described in Example 7, the dissolution characteristics of the tablets which have qualified hardness and tablet weight were investigated, see Table 9.

TABLE 9 Investigation results of dissolution (n = 3) Prescription B4 Prescription B5 Prescription B6 Time Aver- Aver- Aver- (minute) age, % RSD age, % RSD age, % RSD 0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 5 39.1 0.8 33.6 3.6 29.6 11.4 10 73.2 4.0 60.6 1.9 57.3 6.1 15 97.8 3.8 82.6 2.4 81.1 4.4 20 100.8 1.4 95.4 1.7 95.4 2.7 30 101.2 1.3 97.1 1.7 98.8 0.6 45 101.3 1.2 97.2 2.1 99.3 0.4 60 100.9 1.3 97.5 2.2 99.3 0.2

Note: n=3 represents that three samples were taken and measured respectively, and the result is the average of the three samples.

Results of dissolution measurement are as follows:

Each prescription can dissolve over 95% in 20 minutes.

After the API content increased, the dissolution rate decreased, and the difference of dissolution rate between prescription B5 and prescription B6 was small, but both were slower than prescription B4.

Test Example 7: Study on Dissolution Effects of Dissolution Media Containing Different Concentrations of SDS on High-Dose Tablets

In order to make the dissolution medium be more able to show its ability to distinguish prescriptions, the dissolution behaviors of the following prescriptions in dissolution media with different SDS concentrations were investigated.

The dissolution of the prescription B3 of Example 7 and the prescriptions B5 and B6 of Example 8 in dissolution media containing 0.5% SDS, 0.2% SDS, and no SDS was investigated. Data is shown in Tables 10-12.

Dissolution test method: rotary basket method, dissolution medium was 900 ml, rotation rate was 50 rpm, temperature was 37° C. The sampling time points were 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 and 60 minutes, respectively. The formulation method of the dissolution medium of pH 4.0 is the same as that described in Example 7. The difference is that, buffered saline solutions of pH 4.0 containing 5 g, 2 g, and 0 g SDS were used as 1 L dissolution media containing 0.5% SDS, 0.2% SDS, and no SDS, respectively.

The observed phenomenon was that in the absence of SDS in the dissolution medium, a few floccules appeared in the dissolution cup of prescription B5, and a lot of floccules appeared in the dissolution cup of prescription B6. When 0.2% SDS or 0.5% SDS was contained in the dissolution medium, floccules appeared in the dissolution cup of prescription B6, and the floccules decreased after 30 minutes.

Conclusion: in the absence of SDS, the dissolution of the sample was greatly affected, and the dissolution of the three prescriptions was poor. Compared with the dissolution medium containing 0.5% SDS, when 0.2% SDS was contained, the dissolution rate of prescription B3 was similar to that in the dissolution medium containing 0.5% SDS, but the dissolution rate of prescriptions B5 and B6 slowed down and the ultimate dissolution decreased, which shows that the dissolution medium containing 0.2% SDS is not applicable to the dissolution of these two prescriptions. When the dissolution medium contained 0.5% SDS, dissolution of the three prescriptions was good and very similar to that when 1% SDS was contained, and the dissolution characteristics of the prescriptions B5 and B6 were not significantly different.

Example 9: Preparation and Evaluation of Tablets

Preparation of tablets of the prescription B16:14 mg/ml of the drug was encapsulated by 40% HP-β-CD, and the preparation process of lyophilized powder was the same as that in Example 7 (adjusting pH back to 4.0). The lyophilized powder was sieved through a 40 mesh sieve, and lyophilized powder and magnesium stearate (magnesium stearate was in an amount of 1.0% (w/w) of lyophilized powder) were weighed and mixed uniformly; a 19×8 special-shaped punch was used for tableting, the weight of tablet was about 600 mg, hardness was 50-100N. The disintegration time was 8 minutes. The dissolution results are as follows:

TABLE 15 Comparison of dissolution results of prescription B16 and prescription B3 Prescription B3 Prescription B16 Time Average, Average, (minute) % RSD % RSD 0  0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 5 35.8 1.5 39.5 7.4 10 71.4 0.6 70.9 3.8 15 91.3 4.8 88.3 3.5 20 99.5 0.7 92.7 4.4 30 99.6 0.4 96.7 2.3 45 99.7 0.2 99.7 0.7 60 99.6 0.1 100.6 0.3 90 99.7 0.3 101.6 0.5

Conclusion: The dissolution of prescription B16 was slightly slower than that of prescription B3, but it dissolved over 85% at 15 minutes. The drug loading of each tablet (API content of each tablet) for prescription B16 was about 20.29 mg, which was about 45% higher than that of prescription B3, achieving the purpose of increasing drug loading.

Example 10: Preparation and Evaluation of Tablets

It can be seen from Test Example 6 that the stability of the tablet containing lyophilized powder of pH 1.2 was poor, and the stability of the tablet containing lyophilized powder of pH 4.0 was significantly improved. Therefore, try to adjust pH to 6.0 to ensure its stability.

(I) Lyophilization Process

1. Formulation of hydrochloric acid aqueous solution of pH 1.2:0.9 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid was added into a 100 ml volumetric flask and diluted to 100 ml with distilled water.

2. Formulation of 40% HP-β-CD solution: 10 g of HP-β-CD was weighed and dissolved with an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid aqueous solution of pH 1.2, and then transferred to a 25 ml volumetric flask, and diluted to the final volume with the above hydrochloric acid aqueous solution.

3. Formulation of about 14 mg/ml of drug preparation: 56 mg of KX2-361.benzene sulfonate was weighed and then added to 4 ml of the above HP-β-CD solution. The drug was dissolved completely by ultrasound (ultrasonic frequency was 59 kHz).

4. pH adjustment: The pH of the drug solution was adjusted to about 6.0 with 5N NaOH aqueous solution and 0.1 N NaOH aqueous solution. At this time, the solution was nearly colorless. No obvious turbidity and precipitation were observed after standing for 30 minutes. A few precipitation appeared after standing overnight and the liquid portion was a solution.

5. Preparation of lyophilized powder: after the pH was adjust to about 6.0, the solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm PES filter membrane and lyophilized. White lyophilized powder was obtained. The lyophilization process was the same as that in Example 7.

Investigation of redissolution: The lyophilized powder was redissolved with water, completed in about 10 minutes by shaking gently, with no apparent abnormality.

(II) Prescription Composition and Tableting Process

1. Lyophilized powder and each filler were sieved through a 40 mesh sieve respectively.

2. API and each filler were weighed according to the prescription design amount (see Table 16 and Table 17), and mixed, then mixed with the lubricant magnesium stearate by adding equal amount. Mixing by sieving through 40 mesh sieve three times.

3. A Φ8 mm stamping die was used to tablet with tablet weight of about 200 mg (containing about 2 mg API). During the tableting process, the tablet thickness was adjusted according to the hardness which was controlled in the range of 50-100 N.

Experimental Results: Tablets of Each Prescription were Obtained Successfully.

A disintegration time limit tester was used to detect the disintegration time of each prescription tablet described above (method refers to the disintegration time test method, Appendix 0921, Chinese Pharmacopoeia Part IV, 2015 Edition) and the dissolution.

Results are shown in Table 18 and Table 19.

From the dissolution data, it can be seen that the dissolution rate of prescriptions B9, B10, B13, B14, and B15 was slow. The dissolution of other prescriptions was more than 90% at 15 minutes, which showed the rapid dissolution ability of the drug from immediate release tablets.

The tablets of each prescription were placed under conditions such as high temperature (60° C.), high humidity (92.5% RH), −20° C., and was sampled and detected at a specific time point (method refers to HPLC measurement conditions of the content and the related substances described in Test Example 2), and compared with impurity increase of API. Results are shown in Table 20.

From the above table, it can be seen that the stability of prescription B11 was poor than other prescriptions, and the stabilities of prescriptions B7 and B8 were also undesirable. No abnormalities were observed in the remaining prescription tablets after standing for 20 d (days) under each condition. In summary, dissolution data shows that prescription B12 is a preferable prescription.
